Answer

2a (2a$b^{2}$c - 3$b^{2}$c - 2c + 4)

Work Step by Step

We are given the polynomial 4$a^{2}$$b^{2}$c - 6a$b^{2}$c - 4ac + 8a. The GCF of all terms is 2a, so we can factor that out from each term.
2a(2a$b^{2}$c) + 2a(-3$b^{2}$c) + 2a(-2c) + 2a(4)
Next, we can use the distributive property.
2a (2a$b^{2}$c - 3$b^{2}$c - 2c + 4)
